About Us

We were three women talking together one day, being a listening ear for each other, sharing our difficulties, when we discovered something we could do to not only help each other, but many more women. We all lived in different countries, one in America, one in Australia and one in Sweden. Yet across this vast space of distance we had common needs, common problems and the same sense of commonality. We were women raising children, working outside the home—or had—or just starting out in the arena of life and relationships. And the one thing we had in common was a sense that we had no other woman to share with our deepest thoughts and feelings. Two of us had husbands that we could share with, but sometimes even our husbands cannot fulfill that role of what another woman can in being a friend and listening ear.

I came home from our trip together, and within a week I received two phone calls from women who were crying and alone in their pain. They shared their burdens with me. And the commonality in their burdens and what they did was striking. They both apologized for calling me, but they felt that they had no one else they could call. One woman I do not even know, and one women I have never met in person. Yet even their not knowing me did not stop their calling me for help. What they really needed from me was emotional support, and maybe a bit of wisdom, and being a leader of a spiritual movement they placed their trust in that spirituality and what I was suppose to represent.

Both had trouble with the men in their lives. Both experienced pain from something a man did to their loved ones, one in sexual abuse and the other what their man did to other women. Both issues had to do with sexual activities that one wished was not happening to women, young and old, on this planet. Although these women knew other women, they felt like they could not share these personal issues with these other women—not even family. Many women are estranged from their family and have mutual acquaintances from work or church, but yet women often have this distrust of other women. As with both sexes, there can be scrupulous people in both genders. Friends, true friends, seem to be few and far between. And so women—and men—often keep a distance between themselves and other people because they don't have true friendships in their lives. Sometimes the closest friend is their spouse. But unfortunately, the spouse is of the opposite sex—in heterosexual relationships—and thus neither spouse usually feels free to open up emotionally.

We live in a complex world where much of the things that happen around us seems to be out of our control. In the Western world, women are facing the challenge of being a mother and having a full time career. Some of these women are in careers with very high-demanding expectations of them. In the Near or Far East women are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatment, as if they are substandard species of the human race.

We know these issues are a problem across the planet. And we cover some of that past of the role of women and what has happened to them in the section on "Women in the Role of Mother on Planet Earth." Women know there are these problems because they live with them. They often feel alone and disconnected from other women and from any help to meet the small and large challenges they face. They can't look to men to fix their problems because often it is the men of this world who have created the problem to begin with, often just because of the mindset they have that women are substandard beings.

Women's Groups
There are many women's groups around the world. You can find groups for every facet of life from raising children, equality with men, women's rights and the right to abortion, aggression against women, women in the workplace and women in religion. So what can this movement bring to make any difference from just being another women's group? Well, we can start by not seeing this as just another women's group to change women's problems. We can start by seeing this from a spiritual perspective and what is really going on between men and women on this planet.

It is a fact that men are the predominant aggressors on this planet. First they have their size and strength to make them stronger over the smaller and weaker makeup of women. It is not up to women to become physically stronger to overcome these differences and to stop this aggression by becoming aggressive themselves or trying to be as strong as men. There is a higher way. Rather than seeing the problem as men, and that women are treated unequally from men, with women needing to become more equal, we need to start looking at the issue that really needs to change. And it is not just men that need to change or just women trying to bring about the changes. It is both men and women that need to become who they are and both change their perspectives.

The imbalance has come about through both genders and promoted in women's groups. The mistaken belief is that women are needing to become more like men and men are needing to become less men. But what really needs to happen is that women become more powerful and men become more loving. The imbalance is that men are programmed and portrayed as strong and aggressive and any man that tries to be himself in being compassionate and loving, has to do so in hiding or risk being ostracized or seen as effeminate. God forbid a man to have any characteristics of a woman! That would be seen as lacking strength!

Women are programmed that they need to establish their right to be by taking back their bodies from men and doing whatever they please with it by establishing the right to: not carry a child in their womb once conceived, or give up being "just a mother" nurturing children as their career, or being able to to do the same jobs in the workplace as men. Women do need to be stronger, but not in a physical way. They need to be empowered and that is not the same as taking on physical roles to be like men, or thinking they are more powerful beings because they can choose the right to kill their offspring and take back their bodies for themselves.

The Need for Emotional and Spiritual Support
What we three women discussed and saw was the crying need for women to have emotional support. What we saw was that women have come a long way to being able to go out in the world and get their own physical support by gaining financial independence from men, whether they are married or not. They have intellectually gone out and established themselves as career women, meeting the educational requirements to place themselves in prominent positions in the world. They are bringing a women's perspective into politics, law and government, albeit only a small effect as their numbers seem infinitesimally small in proportion to men's influence in these fields. And women are gaining their right in certain places to form a viable opinion on the way society and world handles life, and to be a part of the voting population.

But women are sorely lacking in emotional support, both from men and other women. Men do not generally understand the women in their lives and their different emotional makeup. And women don't often understand men's emotional makeup and why men don't understand what women want and need. But women don't generally understand what men need either. So are women giving men emotional support they need as well? And if men are not getting emotional support from women who are the nurturers, and they are receiving distorted emotional support from other men, are they likely to change their view of women and themselves?

But yet we three women—on that one day together before we separated to go back to our respective homes and countries—were inspired to do something that could make a difference. We were not thinking we ourselves could change the world, nor were we desiring to be prominent feminists starting a rally on some new women's rights. The inspiration came from our higher Beings and from the Cosmic Beings who see things from a higher perspective and have the victory consciousness. And on that day, we could not help feeling that Flame of Victory in the ideas that came to us in how to support women and meet the challenges they face and have faced for a very long time. Yet we did not get the clear picture of what exactly the inspiration we received was leading us to until days and even weeks later. We discovered that this was not just about women, but the supporting of men as well.

What women do best we could encourage and develop—nurturing—while encouraging and educating women on how to become more powerful without disempowering men in the process. We could do something that this world sorely needs, bringing the nurturing of the feminine to both men and women, and encouraging men to make the changes they need to from within themselves. Women we could support through education and being there for them in their travail. We could form a network of women's support, so that every woman would always have a woman to cry on their shoulder, if they needed one, or just be a listening ear. We could teach women how to be more powerful beings, while not letting go of their feminity and what is best about the loving, nurturing aspect of themselves.

We could encourage, nurture, love and support our men and then they could "pay it forward" with teaching others "men to men" support. Men could be encouraged to open themselves up to being more loving individuals, while not letting go of their wonderful masculine strengths and the power they use to create and build magnificent things. We could make a difference! But not just the three of us, but by each woman contributing to the whole of the women's consciousness and ultimately "Mother" on this planet. Women would make the difference, all women who raised their consciousness and were educated in the truths about life and being.

This is not about religion. We three women do not necessarily have the same beliefs about God or religion. But we all have a strong love for God and for our love of women and Mother. We all had issues with our physical mothers, and were even estranged from our birth mothers. We had experienced the pain of abandonment emotionally, and sometimes physically, and definitely spiritually and mentally. We had seen and experienced some of the worse things a mother can do in place of being the loving nurturing aspect of Mother that is inherent in the Flame of Mother. Some of us even felt like we had not been nurturing mothers, friends and lovers to those we loved. We accept and know that our imperfections make us imperfect human beings. But we accept and propose we can learn to be perfect spiritual beings. And the place to start is the heart. We can do many physically wrong acts, imperfect mental thoughts and even emotionally neglectful acts at times, but we can still remain pure at heart. We can forgive ourselves for our human imperfections and focus on our pureness of heart.

So that is what we are about, growing more pure in heart and being each day. We welcome all whose desire is for that purity to join in this endeavor. We start with ourselves, and one by one we can make a difference in the world and to all who come in contact with us. The power of One is the only true power. The power of Being is to be who you really are — and that is a being of love. So without love you cannot be truly empowered, because to know oneness is to know love. And to know love is to know oneness. Then power will be endowed with love. Then we will have men who dare to be loving and kind, and women who dare to stand up for their God given rights as spiritual beings equal with men. We have our differences. Let us honor them.

This is our story. We welcome you to share yours here on your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical victories in overcoming stereotyping of your gender and rising up to being who you are as a representative of Alpha or Omega.

With Love in I AM,

Lorraine Michaels
